When trying to build using VS I run into the following problems.

- Projects contain targets that attempt to sign using a key found  
at …\MSSharedLibKey.snk. This key is not present
- Project references contain references to Silverlight mscorlib and both  
Silverlight and standard System assemblies. This may be OK but  
depending on  
the target some referencs have warning icons displayed.
- Projects reference missing SilverlightKey.snk and  
SilverlightVersion.cs  
files.Again these might be ok if a do a non-silverlight build.

When I generate a dummy snk file that can be used to sign the assemblies  
of  
course the test assembly fails to compile due to the InternalsVisibleTo  
attribute requiremens

Also, it seems a bit odd that the assemblies all have target directories  
that are outside the repository.

root:/ironrubyrepo/src/…  
generates all binaries in  
root:/bin/

Is this intended?

I was accidentally using r84 insteas of r85 which the big errors  
mentioned  
below addressed.
